Hi guys
Has any one done upfront Medical exam for spouse sponsor ship later received medical request from IRCC.
I have received a email from IRCC along with medical request like this
" Step 1: Do your medical(s) You have NINETY (90) calendar days to do your new medical examination using the forms that have been issued to you. Important: Please DO NOT do an up-front IME. Completing an IME before IRCC asks you will delay processing and may lead you to spending more money on a new IME later on. You must take your new medical forms with you when you go for your medical examination(s)."

As it says, you are not allowed to do an upfront medical for spousal sponsorship. You will have to do it again.

But when I asked the hospital about for new medical exam they said i can't take a new exam with in one year
The response from the hospital seems strange, I don't see why it would make any difference to them. IRCC has requested the medical so the hospital should do it. Is there another hospital in your area with panel physicians that you can check with?
